This invention relates to'Electrical control 9.9-

paratus and its subject matter was originally included in but subsequently divided from the application which latter matured into United States Letters Patent 2,228,163, issued January 7, 1941, to Theodore A. Cohen, for improvements in Electrical control apparatus.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a rugged apparatus in which the contacts of become more apparent hereinafter as the same becomes better understood from an examination of the specification and claims, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Fig. 1 is simplified schematic drawing of the control apparatus.

Fig. 8 is a modification.

Referring to the drawings more particularly, as shown in Figure 1, reference character 4 desig- 26 Claims. (Cl. 175-320) nates the pointer of a measuring instrument,

e. g., a pyrometer, voltmeter, thermometen'or the like, actuated by the moving portion of the instrument, not shown for simplicity, for indicating upon a scale l3, the measured quantity. Such sensitive measuring instruments, particularly of the millivoltmeter variety, have operating torques of not more than 1.0 millimeter gram per 90 degrees of rotation and usually are about 0.2 millimeter gram per 90 degrees of rotation. The pointer 4 has attached thereto a light metallic fiag 2, which may be of aluminum foil or the like. The pointer 4 is shown pivoted in simple form as at 5. This may be the pivot and Jewel structure as commonly used. A pair of inductances 18 are mounted in spaced relationship to allow passage of the fiag 2, therebetween, as the P inter 4 moves around axis. The coils 18 form a portion of the resonant circuit of an electronic oscillator I, in whose output circuit is connected a relay 3, having contacts ll, l2, l0 With the fiag 2 withdrawn from the coil system 7-8 the oscillator is tuned to maintain the relay 3 in contact position as shown, with contacts Ill-ll closed and I lll2 open. Upon the fiag 2 passing within the coil system l---8 the oscillator is detuned due to the change in inductance of coils 'I--8, deresonating the oscillator I. This causes the steady current through relay 3 to change to cause relay function and thus close relay contacts Ill-42 and open relay contacts ill-l l. The use of a split inductance such as 'l8 is of especial advantage as will be pointed out more specifically hereinafter.

The apparatus as shown is capable of operating a rugged relay such as is adapted for use in furnace control and the like: with a motion of the fiag 2 as small as .002".

To prevent the possibility of charges collecting upon the flag which might cause disturbance of the accuracy of measurement of a sensitive instrument of which the pointer 4 is a part (by attraction or repulsion thereof), a resistor 9 is incorporated which permits grounding of the pointer 4 and at the same time, permits the placing of the flag 2 and the coil system 1-8 at the same potential. This eifectively prevents disturbance of the measuring function. Another method of preventing possible disturbing efiects can be accomplished by the inclusion of a resistor 9a. I

Referring to Fig. 2 there is shown another form of the apparatus and circuit wherein the pointer arm 4; flag 6, scale l3 and coils l-B are substantially as shown in Fig. 1. 'In this apparatus the coils l-'-8 are part of a resonant circuit including in addition the coil 14, condenser l5, and resistor l-Sa, which is used to control the damping and therefore broadenthe tuning as desired of the circuit or which it is a part. This resonant circuit is coupled inductively to coil IS in the control circuit of the oscillator Il. The resonant circuit is adjustable to resonate with the oscillaearner:

vention means is shown at lBb and functions substantially as in Fig. 1.

Referring to Fig. 3 the apparatus and circuit there shown comprises the vacuum tube I8a shown as a triode whose grid I9 is connected with a grid condenser 20, and grid leak 2! the opposite ends of which are connected to the upper end of the coil 08, the other end of the coil being connected with the filament 22. In the plate circuit a conductor 23 leads to a resonant circuit including the coil 24 and condenser 25 .and from this resonant circuit a conductor 26 leads to the bypass condenser 21 and'thence to the filament 22. From the conductor 28 the circuit leads through the choke coil 28 and relay 29 to the positive side of the battery 30'. The negative side of the battery leads to the filament 22. This type of oscillator circuit is typical of the form known as I tuned plate-tuned grid oscillator in which the coupling means for the feed back of energy from the plate circuit to the grid circuit takes the form of a coupling condenser 21. A portion of the coupling is also through the plate, grid, interelectrode capacity of the tube 98a. The choke coil prevents flow of oscillating energy through relay. For oscillation to take place it is necessary that the plate tank consisting of inductance 24 and condenser 25 be resonated to the grid tank consisting of inductance l8 and the circuits own capacity. Under the condition for maximum oscillation, a large bias is obtained across leak 2! which makes grid is negative and thus a resultant low plate current fiows through relay 29. Should either the plate tanker the grid tank be detuned, oscillation decreases and plate current rises through the relay 29. In this apparatus, one

form of detuning is shown, by means of the flag H on pointer 66, which may be the pointer of a measuring instrument as in Fig. 1. Upon the metal flag ll approaching or passing within the coil l8, detuning results due to the change in inductance of i8 whereupon the plate current sharply rises to close relay contacts 30. It is obvious that the control inductance may be either the grid coil or the plate coil 24 or the flag ll may control the amount of feed back between the grid and plate circuit as will be explained hereinafter in connection with Fig. 4. In the above decribed function the grid tank and plate tank have been resonated to each other in order to produce a low plate current to keep relay contacts 3!! open. Upon either of the tanks being deresonated, the plate current rises to close relay contacts. In some forms of commercial apparatus, it is an "advantage to have operation in the reverse manner,

that is, it is desired to have the relay contacts 3 closed when flag is not at control point (plate current high) and then to have said contacts by the flag ll. .Such manner of operation is easily obtained by deresonating plate tank from grid tank some prechosen amount whereupon the' One advantage of such operation is in the case where tube failure occurs relay contact 30 would open to deenergize the load circuit which maybe a furnace or the like.

This oscillator, although shown energized from batteries, obviously may be powered froma commercial alternating current source eitherby means of the usual rectifier systemfor inthe self 'open when either tank is approached -or afiected ductor 40, this junction rectified manner as is disclosed in the aforementioned parent Patent #2,228,163.

The inductance H3 (or 24) is preferably of the dual coil form such as described in Figures 1 and 4 to 10 hereinafter described because such split coil form permits of a maximum change in inductance with a minimum linear movement of the fiag.

In an automatic control problem it is desirable to sense an immediate departure from the preset control level immediately so that compensation for the departure may be provided as rapidly as possible. Therefore relay action must be obtained with the smallest possible motion of the flag upon the measuring instrument. At the same time the relay in the oscillator apparatus should be capable of operating its contacts with the smallest possible current change. I therefore provide a relay of small differential or high throw out percentage. In this way with the sensitivity of the oscillator to flag position change together with the small differential relay microscopic motions of the fiag are translated to immediate and dependable contact operations without mechanical contact between the moving measuring system such as fiag 6 on pointer I! and the mechanical portion of the system of which coils 'l-8 are a part.

to the grid coil 3!, a circuit leading from this coil 3i through the relay 34 and 'to the filament 35. A circuit leads from the plate 36 through the plate coil 31 to the condenser 38, the other side of the condenser being connected with the conleading to the relay 34 and thence to the filament 35. This places the relay in the grid circuit in position to be operated by the: grid current. A circuit also leads from the plate coil through the choke coil M to the positive side of the plate supply battery 42. Byplacing the relay in'the plate circuit as in Fig. 3 it may be operated by plate current change. The negative side of the battery leads to the filament 35.

All the previous description of the oscillator circuit in Fig. 4 corresponds with the previously described oscillator circuit with the exception that the control flag 2 fixed to indicating pointer is changed by'interposing control fiag 20 to there-.

by control the steady current flow through relay 34. The coils 3i 3'l are mounted so as to allow 'flag 2a to pass between them such as 5-8 in Fig. l and may take the form of mutually facing coils such as in Fig. 8.

Referring to Fig. 5 there is shown diagrammatically a form oi apparatus for causing the change in tuning of the oscillator circuit in which the control flag H9 is mounted upon a secondary pointer 62!) attached to the coil (not shown) or movement system which operates the indicating pointer s. Such an apparatus may be desirable where it is essential that the indicating system .not carry the control system. In this apparatus the movement system i2! maybea D'Arsonval type meter, having the pointer 4 cooperating with the scale I3 and having the other pointer I20 attached to the bottom of the coil, forming a part of the movement system I 2I and carrying the control flag II3.

Referring to Fig. 6, this figure shows still another form of pick-up construction in which a small edgewise wound spiral I26 is placed in a pick-up coil circuit such as shown in the previously described oscillator circuits of Figures 1 to 4 inclusive and cooperates with the metal flag I 21 on the pointer 4 which with its movement will bring the metal fiag I2'l close to and in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the spiral coil I26. The coil I26 may be the inductance I8 or 24 in Fig. 3 or the 'I6 in Fig. 1.

Referring to Fig. 7 there is shown another form of apparatus for controlling the tuning of the oscillator circuit in which the flag is replaced by a coil I22 carried by the pointer and forming part,

of a resonant circuit including a condenser I23 also carried by the pointer. This coil I22 cooperates with pick-up coils I24 and I25 placed in the oscillator circuit. The resonant circuit I22 and I23 carried by the pointer 4 is normally resonant to the frequency of the oscillator. Upon the approachment of the coil system I22 to the pickup coils I24 and I26, energy is absorbed from the oscillator circuit, causing a change in plate current and a consequent operation of the relay controlled thereby. a 4

Referring to Fig. 8 there is shown another form of pick-up coil construction involving the use of 2 spiral coils I28 and I29 lying in substantially parallel planes in which the flag I30 in its movement may pass between the spiral coils, the flag lying in a plane substantially parallel to the planes of the spirals. These coils may replace 1-8 in Fig. l or I3--24 in Fig. 3 or 3I-3I in Fig. 4.

As previously mentioned, an important function of an automatic control system is to produce dependable contacting with the smallest change in measured quantity. It is desirable therefore to effect the greatest obtainable change in inductances with the smallest increment of flag travel since it is flag travel which eventually results in operating the load contacts. By lumping the inductance so that all portions face the ilag surface the largest inductance change may be obtained with minimum pointer travel. Such a coil structure is best exemplified by the spiral pancake coil in Figs. 6 and 8.

Referring to Fig. 9 there is shown another form of apparatus and circuit including the oscillator tube 43, whose grid 44 is connected to the grid condenser-46 and grid leak 46, the circuit from the other side of the grid leak leading through the coil 41 to the filament 48. From the plate 43 a conductor- 56 leads to a resonant circuit, including the coil 5| and condenser 52, the other side of the resonant circuit leading to the choke coil 63 and thence to the plate supply battery 54, the other side of the plate supply battery leading to said filament 48. A by-pass condenser is connected to the choke coil 53 and filament 48. This circuit functions as the oscillator described in Fig. 3. Coupled to the plate coil 5| is a link circuit including coils-66, 51' and 58, condenser 63, and resistor 53A whose function is similar to resistor lid of Fig. 2. Coupled to the coil 61 is a resonant circuit comprising the coil 60 and condenser BI'. The controlling flag 6 on the pivoted arm 4 cooperates with the coils 68. The upper end of the resonant circuit, which-includes the detector, the lower side of the resonant circuit being connected to the negative end of the battery 61, and the positive and of the battery being connected to the plate of the tube 63 through a relay 66. The negative end of said battery is also connected to the filament of said tube.

The oscillator system including tube 43 functions as a tuned-plate-tuned grid oscillator as already described above for Fig. 3. The link circuit 666I-68-6959a is adjusted to-resonate with tank II and 62 with the flag 6 withdrawn to a prechosen point from the cells 68 which correspond to the coils 1-8 in Fig. l or Fig. 2. When the resonant circuit 6Il--6I is resonated with the link circuit 66-5'I686963a such energy is detected by detector system 62- 666II0'II6II6I. Plate current through relay 66 therefore drops to cause relay action. When flag 6 is moved into coil system 63, link circuit 66-69(1, inclusive, is deresonated whereupon energy to detector 62 ceases with consequent change in plate current through relay 66 and corresponding relay action results. Although a so-called grid bend detector is illustrated using grid condenser 'II and grid leak III a plate bend detector may be used to give reverse operation or any variety of diode detector with appropriate bias control. The contacts for the relay 66 are not shown but may be as illustrated in previous figures. With a resistor 59a withdrawn from the circuit sharpest tuning results (narrow resonance curve) and relay 66 is operated with smallest motion of flag '6. As resistor 59a increases from zero resonant current reduces and tuning broadens requiring a larger motion of the flag 6 to produce relay action. Thus the sensitivity of control response may be adjusted. Such operation is useful for throttling control wherein the relay 66 may be, for instance, a variable reactor or a positioned fuel valve since the plate current change can be made proportional to the flag position 6 within the coils 68.

As shown in Fig. 10 one form of apparatus which may be used comprises a milli-voltmeter having a movable coil 30 and a pointer 4 pivotally mounted at 5 having an indicator I5 cooperating with an arcuate scale I3 and carrying the flag 6. The flag in its travel passes between the coils I. and 8 to ail'ect the tuning of the oscillator circuit; These coils 1 and 8 are mounted on a setting lever I6 which is pivotally mounted at 16c coaxially with the pointer 4. The setting lever may also carry an index finger I'I cooperating with the arcuate scale I3. The setting lever I6 may be set to any desired position by means of a suitable adjusting mechanism 'I8. As indicated above, when the fiag 6 passes within the coils l and 8., the oscillator apparatus ID will be affected causing the operation of relay II. Such apparatus is essential in automatic control problems and is shown in connection with furnace temperature, control in which case the energy for controlling the positlon of the milli-voltmeter pointer 4 is produced by thermo couple 5.

,The desired temperature is set upon scale I3 with pointer 11 and adjustment is. This positions the coils 1-8 at required point. When the temperature is low in the furnace, insufllcient energy is produced by the thermo couple 6 whereupon the pointer 4 and indicator 16 are below the control point 11. The fiag 6 is not fully within the coils 1-6 and relay 1| remains closed, contacts it closed, energizing furnace elements 13, it electrically heated, or an electric valve if fuel fired.

As the temperature rises in the furnace the couple is heated and .the pointer 5 moves up scale. The flag 6 enters further between coils 'I-'8 changing the tuning of the oscillator and thereby opening contacts 12. The furnace now cools until flag 6 is again withdrawn below control point to cause a reenergization of the furnace. This action continues giving so-called off-on or two position control of the furnace. Because of the extreme sensitivity of the relay system very close temperature control is obtainable. The

system is easily set up to produce contact operation of 12 with a motion of the flag 6 within the cells 1-4! of less than .002".

It is important in a control mechanism of this character that the control flag 6 be incapable of passing beyond the control coils l and 8 because if that should take place the relay contacts 12 would then be permanently closed and the furnace element 13 would be permanently energized. The indicating pointer 15 would be deflected to the top end of the scale and all control would be I lost, with resultant possible damage to furnace.

A pointer stop 19 is therefore provided fixed to the lever 16 at 19A and insulated from any portion of the circuit to arrest the pointer 15 before the flag 6 can travel beyond the coil system '|B. To prevent electrostatic charges collecting upon the flag 6 and causing erroneous indications upon the scale 13 of the pointer 15, the pointer and flag 6 are metallically connected at 6A. Such connection is usually made at a control spring mount or lead shown in-simplified form at 6B. A leakage resistor 60 places the flag and pointer at the same potential as the coil system |-8 at 1A. The line supply for the system is conventionally shown at Ill. The oscillator 10 shown in simplified block form may be any of the previous oscillator systems described or one of the oscillator mechanisms disclosed in the aforementioned parent Patent #2,228,163.

It is obvious that the control apparatus may be applied to any automatic control problem such as voltage frequency, etc., with an appropriate measuring element and controlled compensator for the departed quantity.

I am aware that many changes may be made and details varied without departing from the principles of my invention and I therefore do not .wish to be limited to the details shown or described.
